GetBlock

GetBlock is a blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) provider that gives developers plug-and-play RPC access to over 130 blockchain networks without operating or maintaining their own infrastructure. Founded in October 2019 by Vasily Rudomanov and headquartered in Belgrade, Serbia, the platform has grown to serve more than 100,000 active users and processes over 50 billion API requests per month. It is one of the older independent RPC infrastructure providers in the space and has a documented focus on the Solana ecosystem specifically.

Core Mechanism

GetBlock abstracts away the operational overhead of running blockchain nodes by hosting and managing full and archival nodes on behalf of developers. Customers connect via a single endpoint that exposes the chain's native API interface—no node setup, peering, or synchronization required.

Supported access methods include:

• JSON-RPC — the standard interface for EVM-compatible and Solana RPC calls
• WebSocket — for persistent connections and event subscription streams
• REST — available on selected networks
• GraphQL — supported for certain chains
• gRPC — available specifically on Solana nodes, enabling high-throughput streaming access

The service offers two primary infrastructure tiers: shared nodes (pooled infrastructure with per-request billing) and dedicated nodes (isolated private servers with unlimited request throughput). Shared endpoints are appropriate for development and moderate-traffic production use; dedicated nodes target high-volume applications such as trading bots, indexers, and wallets where consistent low latency and exclusive capacity are required.

Key Features

Multi-chain breadth. 130+ supported protocols span major L1s and L2s including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, TON, and XRPL, among others.

Uptime commitment. The platform guarantees 99.99% uptime across its infrastructure. Solana-specific uptime is listed at 99.95% at the mainnet endpoint level.

MEV protection. Private transaction routing is available on supported networks to reduce exposure to frontrunning and sandwich attacks.

Archive data access. Full historical state is accessible on selected networks.

StreamFirst, LandFirst, IndexFirst. Three internally developed products rolled out in late 2025 address specific developer pain points: StreamFirst accelerates detection of on-chain state changes for event-driven applications, LandFirst targets transaction settlement speed, and IndexFirst provides archive data access via a flexible SDK for indexing use cases.

Solana Startup Program. GetBlock operates a program offering up to $10,000 in infrastructure credits for early-stage Solana projects, with DevNet endpoint access included for testing.

Solana Ecosystem Fit

GetBlock has made Solana a stated infrastructure priority. The platform supports Solana mainnet, devnet, and testnet endpoints, with both shared and dedicated node access and gRPC streaming available on mainnet. A dedicated "Solana Pro RPC" product is marketed for latency-sensitive applications.

Independent benchmarks by CompareNodes placed GetBlock in the top five Solana RPC providers globally. In Asia—where the company reports more than half its user base and approximately 68% of total revenue—its Singapore-hosted cluster demonstrated sub-140ms latency to endpoints across Bahrain, the UAE, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, against competitor ranges of 196ms to nearly 400ms in the same geographies.

Solana developers gain access to standard Solana JSON-RPC methods, WebSocket subscriptions for account and slot change events, gRPC for higher throughput, and archive node access for historical queries.

Pricing

GetBlock operates a tiered pricing model:

• Free tier — available at account creation, suitable for development and prototyping
• Pro plan — from $399/month (billed annually), providing 600M–1B compute units, up to 800 requests per second, and access to 150 endpoints
• Dedicated nodes — from $1,000/month, offering unlimited request volume, private infrastructure, archive data, and custom configuration

Compute units are GetBlock's billing abstraction, normalized across chain complexity so that each method call is weighted by actual resource consumption rather than raw request count.

Security and Compliance

In July 2026, GetBlock achieved SOC 2 Type II certification, indicating that its security controls, availability, and confidentiality practices have been independently audited over an extended observation period. There is no proprietary token associated with GetBlock.

Background

GetBlock has operated continuously since 2019. In August 2026, the company released a State of Web3 Infrastructure H1 2026 report covering usage patterns, chain performance, and market dynamics across its network. The company has also partnered with Pocket Network on resilient RPC access distribution.
